What if Dave Roberts was caught stealing?

But Doc Halladay made history yesterday...

Your 2010 Giants: April, Play Ball!
The goal, says Brian Sabean, is for the Giants to get off to a hot start. Or at least a hotter start than prior years, as each season started with a stumble, with a huge losing streak, losing roughly 6 games in the loss column. In prior years, Dave Roberts, as nice a guy as he is, killed the top of the lineup trying to play when he was clearly injured. Last season, no one to blame...

Fantasy Preview: San Francisco Giants
The San Francisco Giants have a putrid offense, and an emerging pitching staff with depth. But as with all bad teams, there are some nuggets of gold to find by the bay.
